The third gameplay footage saw the player find an item before encountering a wild Inkay. Using a Great Ball, the wild Inkay was captured.

The gameplay video ended with a presentation to the next anime season based on "Pokémon X and Y." As Latinos Post reported, the preview for the next anime season saw Ash Ketchum arrive to the Kalos region with his Pikachu. Based on the short preview, he is seen without current traveling friends Cilan and Iris. The sixth-generation starter Pokémon are also seen in what may be Prof. Augustine Sycamore's laboratory.

The gameplay footage comes after two additional gym leaders were confirmed last week. As Latinos Post reported, Clemson and Grant will accompany Viola as gym leaders for Kalos. Although it was not specified as to what types the two males specialized in, it's been confirmed Grant "excels" in biking racing and mountain climbing while Clemson enjoys creating inventions.

"Pokémon X and Y" is set for a worldwide release on Oct. 12, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
